A beach in the middle of Texas?! That’s right! Cole experienced the beach for the very first time! Sand between the toes without the scary waves crashing and none of those pesky sand crabs. We were invited to “the beach club” last week with our friends Becky and Jorja! We had so much fun splashing in the water and building sand castles. There was even a splash park overlooking the beach. We brought a picnic lunch and ate under the trees at a little table, but Cole could hardly sit still with the water right behind him so it was back in the “waves” for us! Thank you so much for inviting us to spend the day!

Awwww- how cute are these photos? I still haven't taken Tori to the beach....I think as much as she would hate the water she would LOVE the sand (if her obsession with the sandbox and childcare is any indication.

In some of those picutres you could have fooled a girl who grew up surrounded by water on Long Island! I am so glad Cole and Jorja had a blast on the beach. How cool is that? He is just the cutest thing. I just love his smile. You take the best photos-you really capture some great poses!

LOVE it!!! Had such a great time with you guys - as always. And I must admit when we went today without you Jorja asked where Cole was... I think they are growing more in love each time! :) I can't get over how adorable Cole was the WHOLE time we were there. Seriously, ALL smiles. Love that kid of yours SO much!!!

I am a California girl who fell for an Oregon boy and we live in the great state of Texas with our two boxers, honey and riley and our adorable sweet boys, Cole and Blake. We are just an ordinary family with some extraordinary adventures! Please join us on our journey as we navigate through life together.
Cole is our oldest baby boy born on August 1, 2007. He is a bright and energetic little 5year old. Cole was born with the most common form of dwarfism called Achondroplasia. Please start with "our story" for some background details. The most important thing to know about our sweet Cole is that he is just like everyone else...just shorter.
Our sweet Blakey boo was born on June 15, 2010 and has been such a joy in our lives. He is such a stink and likes to get into all the things he shouldn't. He is a kid on a mission and loves to do anything his big brother is doing.

Our last born little guy is Gavin! He is the baby of the family and we all love him so much! He's constantly on the move, but loves to take the time to snuggle. He's very curious and gets right in to the mix with his older brothers!
